Hannibal police were on the lookout Monday morning for a suspect sought in a one-vehicle accident. One tell-tale description of the driver was that he was wearing just one flip-flop when he walked away from the scene.

The one-vehicle mishap at Richmond and Hope streets was reported around 11:30 a.m. A pickup reportedly was driving through the area at a high rate of speed when it left the road and struck a tree.

Before EMS and police arrived at the scene, the male driver departed. No one else was in the vehicle at the time of the mishap, according to scanner traffic.

The suspect was last seen walking south toward the Juvenile Justice Center.

On Monday afternoon, Lt. John Zerbonia of the Police Department, said the incident was still under investigation.
